Abstract: Process for hydroconversion of loads of mixtures of waxes from renewable resources that may be made up of waxes of mineral origin or waxes of animal origin, that may be used in their pure form or mixed in any proportion, that may optionally be combined with loads of hydrocarbons of mineral origin, as is the case of waxes obtained from petroleum, by industrial treatment. This mixture flow is submitted to a hydrotreatment and hydroisomerization/hydrofinishing process and the referenced process takes place under the usual hydroconversion conditions, in the presence of a hydrogen stream and hydroconversion catalysts, resulting in obtaining products referred to as biolubricants and bioparaffins, that present characteristics of being biodegradable and less of an environmental pollutant.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions which comprise mixtures of open-chain and cyclic molecules of the sugar alcohols D-sorbitol and D-mannitol which have been esterified with at least one carboxylic acid, processes for preparing these compositions and the use of this composition as lubricant or hydraulic liquid.

Abstract: A lubricant which is non-polluting and substitutable for conventional lubricants and which is excellent in lubrication characteristics, particularly having low frictional characteristics comprises an aqueous solution containing a saccharide in an amount of 0.5–30% by mass based on the total amount of the aqueous solution the saccharide comprising mainly a sucrose and a disaccharide caramel in an amount of 0.2–20% by mass based on the amount of the sucrose. As the sucrose, granulated sugar or crystal sugar is preferred, and coffee sugar containing previously a disaccharide caramel can also be used. More preferably, the lubricant contains sodium laurate and/or potassium laurate in an amount of 0.001–1% by mass. Furthermore, it is desired that the lubricant contains potassium sorbate in an amount of 0.1–3% by mass as a preservative and benzotriazole or an alkali metal salt thereof in an amount of 0.1–3% by mass as a rust inhibitor.

Abstract: According to the invention there is provided a liquid friction control composition for use in low temperature conditions, which comprises a rheological control agent, a consistency modifier and a freezing point depressant. The liquid friction control composition may also comprise other components such as a retentivity agent, an antioxidant, a friction modifier, a lubricant, a wetting agent, and a preservative.

Abstract: This invention relates to substantially anhydrous warming, non-toxic and nonirritating lubricating compositions containing polyhydric alcohols and an insulating agent as well as gel and jelly compositions related thereto. The invention also relates to methods of using such compositions for lubrication, administration of active ingredients and for preventing or treating dysmenorrhea.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a lubricant which is of non-pollution and substitutable for conventional lubricants and which is excellent in lubrication characteristics, particularly low frictional characteristics. According to the present invention, the lubricant comprises an aqueous solution containing a saccharide in an amount of 0.5-30% by mass based on the total amount of the aqueous solution and the reminder of water (pure water), said saccharide comprising mainly a sucrose and a disaccharide caramel in an amount of 0.2-20% by mass based on the amount of the sucrose. As the sucrose, granulated sugar or crystal sugar is preferred, and coffee sugar containing previously a disaccharide caramel can also be used. More preferably, the lubricant contains sodium laurate and/or potassium laurate in an amount of 0.001-1% by mass. Furthermore, it is desired that the lubricant contains potassium sorbate in an amount of 0.
